Allow ARI to execute AGI commands

Asterisk Asterisk APIs
1

I created a number of AGI commands - it’s the ideal way to extend the DialPlan list of available methods.

However, now that we’re migrating to ARI I’m unable to reuse some of the AGI commands that I had created.

I that support on the roadmap?

I know of noone working on that and I’m not sure if it would fit into what ARI is really doing. ARI exposes low level primitives, AGI commands are a bit higher level. Some might make sense, others wouldn’t.

Are there particular things the AGI commands do that can’t be done in ARI?

So for example I was using the Google Text To Speech script http://zaf.github.io/asterisk-googletts/ to translate text to speech and play it back (much better than Festival).

The AGI script has direct access to the /sounds folder and therefore a good integration with Asterisk.
